improvements in particular refer novel advantages for Washing and cleaning dishes and similar receptacles.

Among the object-s having a per provide a mop tainer for holding a supply of `this invention is to forated conof soap or other suitable detergent, said container being of a pliable material, such as rubber.

Other, further and more specific objects of this invention Will become readily apparent to persons skilled in the art from a consideration from ings wherein Fig. l is a side vieiv of the following description When taken in conjunction VWith the drawthe mop, a portion of the device being broken away to show the relative positions of the handle, perforated soap container and mop yarn.

Fig. 2 shows tainer for my a suitable perforated condevice to hold Vthe soap or other suitable detergent.

The apparatus comprises thc handle (l) upon which is securely bound the mop yarn (2) by means of made of the saine (2). the handle (l), provided near on this end of the handle 1),

a cord which may be material as the mop yarn. As an aid in securing the mop yarn to a peripheral groove (4.) is

This container (tl) able material, such asr although l prefer support and hold the the handle is of a resilient pliinolded rubber, and the spherical construction disclosed in the drawing, it is to be understood that other suitable shapes may be used Without departing of this invention.

from the spirit and scope In fitting the container (6) to the mop, the neck (T) is slipped over the bead (5), from which it may be readily detached. by a slight pull. durability to this pliable facilitate its attachment ln order to add container and to vto and removal from the mop handle, the neck (7) is thick# ened, or preferably drawing.

the handle The tassels of mop yarn (2) Will noiv surround and envelop this perforated container. On .inserting this mop in water or cleansing liquid, pressure of the end carrying this perforated container against the vessel holding the liquid will cause the pliable material of this container to be pressed inwardly. Upon release of this pressure, vthe molded rubber of the perforated container (6) rvill return to its normal position. It Will thus be seen that this constru Y tion aifords a means for circulating the Water through this perforated container. ln fact, this perforated container of pliable material provides a means for pumping water through the Zone holding the soap or This soapy Water issuing from the Vperforated container will pass on to the mop yarn (2) and thereby properly condition the mop yarn for scouring and cleansing dishes or similar receptacles.

A very important advantage the positive circulation of cleansing fluid which may be obtained therewith. Also, by selecting a soap or other detergent of the particular solubility desired, the supply of soap delivered to the mop yarn (2) may be readily controlled.

The present invention is not limited to the specific details set forth in the foregoing examples which should. be construed as illustrative and not by Way of limitation, and in view of the numerous modifications which may be effected therein Without departing from the spirit and scope of this invention, it is desired that only such limitations be the appended l claim as my invention:
